how does this sprayer work with latex paints?

It works great especially for the newer paints. To test it after buying it, I sprayed epoxy primer (1.8mm tip), base color (1.5mm tip), and urethane clear (1.3mm tip). The gun performed flawlessly. I would suggest you keep a cheap gun for the primer and use this for color/clear, so you don't have cross-contamination from the primer. I use a Husky HVLP (about $50) that works great. I would buy this gun again. I use it on classic Corvettes....

I haven't sprayed any type of paint although the different spray nozzles should handle it.

It works as well as any electric sprayer. It splatters to some degree, seems worse with thicker paints. I've only tried it with atain once, and had marginal results. I have owned a couple of small wagner sprayers, and if I had it to do over, I would have spent the extra money on a decent sized industrial type sprayer.

Yes it will spray laytex just fine. My recomendation is to first strain your paint thru a paint strainer (a mesh bag you can get cheaply at a hardware store)first.

I found the sprayer very easy to clean with warm soapy water after using latex paint. I used a spray shield to limit the amount of overspray.

If talstar clogs your sprayer then this probably will too. That said you might want to switch to a bigger nozzle. You don't want to atomize this stuff, just put out a stream or mist to dry on a surface. It will minimize the amount you breathe in and maximize the effectiveness

Haven't tried it but believe it can could spray most anything. I bought it to spray heavy coatings like latex on the cabinets I make, which it does a great job. I think the only problem you my have, which might not be a problem because I haven't tried thin coatings with this is that it really dumps the product. Again, it has an adjustment for spray volume so that might not be a problem. Just haven't played with it with thin products. Like the gun so far. For stain, which has to be rubbed out anyway, I like the cheap Harbor Freight HVLP gravity feed. Will amazon dare to print that. Good on them if they do.

Yes the sprayer can use any paint that will pass through the testing cup as specified in the instruction notes. I have used a latex house paint and primer with no problem and a deck stain again no prob;em.

I read instructions on the can, nothing mention about using brush to paintI was used with air sprayer .This liquid very thin ( like.... water, solvent)

Hello. I've used it over dry painted acrylic surfaces for art, but not on latex.

The nozzle has to be there. This sprayer acts like your finger and evenly distribute the paint. I redid my wheels n they look professionally done. Just make sure the nozzle is pointed in the opening of the sprayer.

I believe that there is a newer model that can spray 'hot" , or flammable liquids such as lacquer or poly. But yes, this will spray any liquid with the consistency of latex paint.

It will and does a good job. However, you have to "thin" the paint with water (almost double the amount recommended for an airless) and use a paint conditioner such as Floetrol. Additionally, you'll have to purchase the M-aircap Set #6 to spray latex.

No, I used it with regular latex paint that I purchased locally. I've never tried it with any oil based paint.

There is only one "size tip" That this comes with, and it's not interchangeable. It's for spraying medium to thin materials... Lacquers, stains, varnishes. Not Latex house paints. To spray something thicker, you have to buy a different gun. It comes with a viscosity cup to check the material.

I have not used my SprayIt yet for latex paint but have used many similar LVLP guns for just that purpose and they work great. You will need to thin the paint with water and it would help to strain it with a medium or fine mesh. The consistency should be like heavy cream used for cooking and sauces. Experiment with your pressure until you find the right amount (no more than 60psi).

Absolutely. This sprayer can spray latex paint which is much harder to spray than poly. No worries. - Gleem Paint

I don't really like it for latex applications. I use mine primarily for polyurethane. You could spray a room in a building as long as you protect against overspray. I think there are better alternatives for that purpose than this device.
